Hans Lobert - 1915/16 M101-4 Sporting News

John Bernard “Hans” Lobert (1881-1968) once raced a thoroughbred racehorse around the bases in a publicity stunt as was widely considered the fastest player in the Major Leagues of his time. Two other times, he was also pitted against Olympian and Hall of Fame football player Jim Thorpe and collegiate track star Vince Carter. Lobert played the left side of the infield for 14 years with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1903), the Chicago Cubs (1905), the Cincinnati Reds (1906-1910), the Philadelphia Phillies (1911-1914) and the New York Giants (1915-1917). “Hans Number 2”, as dubbed by Honus Wagner (Hans Number 1), was not only a threat on the base paths as he stole 30 or more bases seven times, but also hit above the .300-mark four times. His speed was an asset to his team, nonetheless, as Lobert stole home six times for Philadelphia, placing him second all-time in Phillies history, and on September 27, 1908, he stole second, third and home as a Cincinnati Red against the St. Louis Cardinals. Hans Lobert finished his career with a .274 career batting average, 1,252 hits, 640 runs scored, 482 RBI and 316 stolen bases. After his playing days, Lobert spent time as a coach and in 1942 became the youngest manager, to date, in Major League history at age 60. He compiled a 42-111 record as the interim skipper that year.

Condition Census (Explain)

THE PSA CARDFACTS CONDITION CENSUS

The PSA CardFacts Condition Census lists the ten finest PSA-graded examples of a particular card. The top five in the census are listed on the specific card's "home page." The entire ten-card census can be viewed by clicking the "more" link at the bottom left of the home page census.

By default, each of the ten finest cards will be shown on a single line in the Condition Census grid. If more than ten cards are tied for the top ten positions, then cards may be grouped by position into a single line in the grid. When cards are grouped in this way, the total number of cards per position will be shown in parentheses after the PSA grade.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The PSA CardFacts Condition Census is a work-in-progress and should only be used as a guide. While every effort is made to be as accurate as possible, errors and omissions may occur. In addition, the census of any particular card can and does change as new cards are graded and/or discovered. Buyers or sellers of a particular card should do their own research to determine the relative importance of that card. PSA CardFacts welcomes the input of knowledgeable collectors and dealers to help improve the PSA CardFacts Condition Census listings.
